Buyers Beware: Ran the Self Cleaning Function today and 30 mins Into the Cycle (Medium Setting), I heard a loud sound ! Looked closely at the door panel and to my surprise the internal glass panel contained a crack stretching the width of the panel. An online search revealed that other buyers have also reported glass panels cracking.
I had no issues the first time I ran the self cleaning cycle. I followed the instruction manual on both occasions. The oven is just under 3 yrs old & as good as new.
Will report this incident to Bosch for a manufacturing defect.
Hope I wont have a battle on my hands trying to resolve this matter.
Will think twice about running the self cleaning function again !!!

What a fantastic oven. I can not rave enough - I finally tried the self cleaning feature a few days ago and was seriously amazed! I am so used to buying things that never live up but this is seriously great. No more stinky oven cleaners and painful elbows and backs! I just assumed that taking the rails out would be effort but so easy. The oven heats up so fast which is great when you have kids demanding food right now.
Self cleaning! Fast.
Personally thought a great price but could be too expensive to some - but seriously, the self cleaning is worth it!

What bliss! This is the best oven I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I love the rapid heat function and the hot air grill is great for crispy skin on duck and chicken etc.The pyrolytic cleaning function is unbelievable - so thorough. My husband is more adventurous when he uses it and is finding functions that I wasn't aware it had. The only negatives are the lips on the oven racks, but I can live with them for the time being until I get some telescopic ones. All in all, I'm very happy indeed.
Pyrolytic cleaning. Rapid heat function. Hot air grilling. Cooling fan. Retractable knobs.
Lips on the oven racks - not user friendly. Symbols around the dials are a bit too small to read easily.

After months of research and reviewing information I purchased the Bosch. I was lucky enough to get it on special. Huge space inside to cook biscuits trays side by side. Has excellent heat control and I have successfully cooked delicate pastries, meringues, roasts, grilled the top of gratins. Looks fantastic and fits in so well in my modern kitchen. Easy to wipe down and clean. More than impressed!
Spacious, accurate heat settings, cooks well, value for money
Oven trays have a lip on the front so you cannot slide uncooked dishes easily into the oven. Once I got used to it, it's a great oven!!!!

Cooks wonderfully. Roasts, cakes, biscuits, pies, grilled meat all turn out perfect. The wire rack is wide enough for 2 muffin pans. It comes with a roasting dish, baking dish and grill and 2 racks. All of which work well. I haven't used the pyrolytic function yet, but for the first time i'm looking forward to cleaning my oven. The triple glazed door is so safe for little hands - I'm glad we didn't pay extra for the 'cool touch' door, as it is unnecessary (but as I say, we haven't used the pyrolytic function yet).
Reliable. Good value for money.
Slightly hotter at the rear of the oven, so you need to rotate cakes and muffins during cooking. Not a big deal.

Heats fast, cooks well, will give nice browning on a roast, nice variety of settings, easy to use, looks good, easy cleaning, nice trays come with it that are easy to clean too.
Most everything. Gets a nice brown and crispy layer on top of things you want brown and crispy. So easy to use! My cooking has definitely improved with this oven and it makes me want to cook!
Has some "hot spots". But like all ovens, you gotta know where to place things.

This has changed the way we cook - quickly heats up, so easy to clean, cooks absolutely beautifully. I am positively inspired to roast and bake with this oven, the results are fantastic. It's very quiet and very well insulated. Not sure if oven technology has changed so much or our old oven was hopeless, but this is so much better.
Looks good, works even better

Like a few others, we put a new kitchen in our house and always were going to by all Bosch Products. This oven cleans its self, heats up quickly (Even Quicker if you push the quick heat button) and cooks to perfection every time. The stainless steel finish is easy to clean on the out side and you we will never have to worry about cleaning out the inside as it cleans its self. Just give it a wipe out when its finished the cleaning cycle.
Cooks very well, looks great and easy to use.
Push out knobs feel a little flimsy but haven't failed us yet!

So in love with my new oven! Our 15 year old oven died and orginally I did not want to spend this much on an oven but so happy I did!

It looks great and so easy to use and clean. The different cooking types are great and gives you more choice than a standard oven. Best thing - it heats up SO quickly - a huge positive for me.

My ONLY complaint is I find the touch screen to set the oven timer annoying and fidly to use...
super fast to heat up, looks great, easy clean
I find the touch screen timer annoying and fiddly to use. The rest is great.
